Obi Non

Uzbekistan

Non bread is sacred in Uzbekistan. It must never be placed face-down. When a traveller departs, they take a bite of non and the rest is kept until they return.

Uzbek tandoor bread — round flatbreads stamped with a chekish pattern and baked on the walls of a clay tandoor until golden and slightly charred on the bottom.
